<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8064558, member: 105098"]Well, SOME collectors collect for the varieties, value isn't a consideration at all really, they are collecting die varieties, and by die marriages sometimes too. if you are in it for "the money" and don't want to waste your time for minor varieties, stick to the ones listed in the redbook alone, or go on variety vista and look up the varieties on ebay and see what they are selling for and the factor in the cost of grading into their sold values and determine if it's worth the effort and make a list of what you want to look for and skip the rest.</p><p><br /></p><p>variety vista is for variety collectors, same goes for cherry pickers guide really, there's plenty of better ways to spend your time to make money than searching coins. Some people enjoy searching coins, and spending the time doing it regardless if there is a profit in doing it and enjoy finding a new variety to add to their collection even if it's face valued. </p><p><br /></p><p>errors would be a different animal, and those are few and far between to find them also.

The "job" isn't the coin roll hunting, the "job" is the youtube channel and making money off the viewers any way they can from donations, or selling roll searches, or merchandising ect. </p><p><br /></p><p>yeah there's a lot of varieties, most aren't valuable, if you don't want to look for them, don't look for them.
